WOW! Long time no talk! I have just been crazy busy like you wouldnt believe! But you know what I found time to do? I found time to sit down and write the next chapter! YAAAAAAAYYYY! Ok so...I done some research and I've realized...I'm not Rick Riordan and...and I don't own PJATO...yeah.
The plan failed.
Great, I know. First of all, the monster was surprisingly...unmonsterish. He was humanoid with deep blue skin with stars on it. He had black hair with one streak of gray it in all swooped back. He wore khaki pants and a light blue button down shirt with nicely polished shoes. His eyes are really what freaked me out though, they were...yellow...but not like nasty yellow..radiant yellow. And looking at them was like looking directly at the Sun. I had to blink a few times to recover from looking at them. If Grover could have looked more scared...he did. Annabeth clinched her knife and gritted her teeth. I don't think she liked this guy, and she probably actually knew who he was. I couldn't exactly ask her either considering the fact I "wasn't there".
The little exerpt from the cave was actually pretty nice. You know...for a cave. All the walls were a smooth black rock that I'm sure Annabeth could identify, the ceiling was at least 50 feet high and looked like the bottom of a dome. I was still observing the wonderful evil lair when I saw Percy Jackson. He was tied with celestial ropes to a large column made of the same dark rock...only he was more conscious then in my dream. THAT was this blue guys current problem.
"Mr. Jackson," he said soothingly in voice a little too familiar, "If you would cooperate with me this plan could all go over smoothly."
"Yeah uh-huh," Percy replied, "that'll happen."
"It 's not as bad as you think." Blue Dude said, "I mean we just have to knock out the camps, and-"
"DUDE! NOT GONNA HAPPEN!"
Blue Dude sighed "I see. Well then I suppose I'll have to dispose of you. I'll just use some other powerful demigod...though my wife preferred you..."
Annabeth looked confused. But she nodded at Grover as the signal to start the action. Game time.
I walked as quietly as possible in the direction behind blue dude who was like...15 feet tall. Annabeth and Grover were giving me a few seconds to get ahead. Then they began slowly walking towards Blue Dude. It looked like an easy job until Percy said, "Give it up Uranus!"
Annabeth and Grover stopped in their tracks. Annbeth had a wild look in her eyes. Disbelief? Terror? Disbe-terror? She and Grover hid behind the nearest rock and I ran (quietly mind you) after them. I caught up and sank behind the rock with them. I pulled off the Yankees hat.
"Did Percy just call him-"
"Breccy," Annabeth said, "If you say 'your anus' I will kill you."
Grover smiled, but it quickly faded and went back to moraly terrified.
"Yeah well..." I started, "Who is this guy?"
Annabeth's eyes were doing that thinking thing again, "APPRENTLY Uranus, father of the Titans, ruler of the sky. But that's not possible...Kronos killed him by cutting him up into a million pieces thousands of years ago."
"Yeah," I said, "Just like Zeus did to Kronos. And we all know that HE never reformed or anything."
Annabeth glared at me. Probably not the best time to be sarcastic.
"We'll worry about details later," She said, " The unfortunate fact is that we can't defeat him alone...actually I have no clue HOW to kill him."
Annabeth not knowing is ALWAYS encouraging.
"And we cant defeat him alone...why?" I asked.
"Because gods and demigods must work together to kill a titan, giant, or... well anything more," Annabeth explained.
I stared at her. "Oh...that could be complicated..."
That's when it hit me. One of my classic insanely-stupid-that-it-just-might-possibly-work-probably-not-but-it's-worth-a-try ideas. My brain was going a million miles an hour. (Which was weird considering it usually tried to stay between the 20 to 50 mph range)
"Breeeeeecy..." Grover bleated, "You ok? You look like... Annabeth or something."
"Yeah I...I just...I have a plan. It's crazy but-"
Annabeth smiled, "Say no more. Every time Percy said that... well it was usually a life threatening situation where we almost died or got blown up or even-"
"THANK YOU, Annabeth," I said.
"BUT," she continued," they always worked."
I thought about that, and nodded.
"Ok so...you guys are in?"
"Completely," Annabeth said.
"I hope we don't die," Grover responded.
"Awesome," I said, "Now... we need to get back outside, find some water, and go from there. Okay?"
There expressions dropped with exasperation.
HEY HEY HEY! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED AND...ER..."ENCOURAGED" ME TO POST THE NEXT CHAPTER! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW AND I SWEAR I'LL GET THE NEXT ONE UP SOONER!
